What To Serve With It
A couple of great options come to mind when I think about what to pair with Lucky Charms Treats.
For snack pairings, I love serving them with a cold glass of milk—it’s classic and balances the sweetness perfectly.
If you’re craving something savory, try pairing them with lightly salted pretzels for a fun contrast in flavors.
Fruit slices, like apples or bananas, also make great flavor combinations, adding a fresh touch to the treat.
For a festive twist, I’ll sometimes add a small scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.
These combos turn a simple treat into a mini feast.
